If you haven't figured it out by now, I love success stories and especially ones that include stories of burning the ships (see Cortes). Mark Podolsky, a/k/a the LandGeek was living the 'slow death' in corporate America when someone he was working with told him about buying land on the courthouse steps.

While everyone was running from it, Jeremy packed up his worldly belongings, burnt the ships (a man after my own heart) and moved to Detroit, MI.
